Dinner was literally hanging in the balance during today’s Bushtucker Trial -Skyscrape. Malandra and Myleene discovered that they would have to clamber on to a seesaw platform 200ft above the jungle floor.

They would then have to take it in turns to collect corresponding flags hanging off the edges of the platform. Each pair of flags, collected in numerical order, would equal a much needed meal for camp.

After being winched up above the jungle canopy the girls gingerly tiptoed to each end of the huge seesaw to pluck the flags from the platform.

Counter balancing each other they used brilliant teamwork to pick up four flags and four meals but perhaps slight over confidence saw Mal and Myleene plummet off the edge as they went for the next meal.

Regaining their footing and their composure they grabbed the next set of flags before once again over reaching themselves and swinging off the ledge. Undeterred they managed to pick up another two meals but unfortunately dropped two flags on their way back to the ground which meant that they lost a brace of meals.

The girls ended up with five flags and therefore five meals, a lot better than the boys meagre one star last night!

Jason and Myleene were sent off to collect the Celebrity Chest but little did they know that their trip would take them away from camp for the night.

Arriving in a clearing in the jungle, they could see a key hanging in between two trees. They were instructed that the tallest celebrity should leap for the key.

While both campers were wary of the situation, Jason jumped for the key and suddenly found himself engulfed by a huge net and hoisted up into the air in between the trees.

Myleene was left shocked on the ground but spotted a shower also in the clearing. There she found more instructions explaining that in order to release Jason, she needed to shower - the flowing water would release the counterweight and lower her team mate.

As an extra challenge, she needed to free another key that was buried inside a bar of soap. Luckily, Myleene wasn’t shy and soon had her clothes whipped off, modelling a skimpy white bikini as she began to lather herself in the soap to wear it down.

As she stood under the icy water, the net began to descend and eventually Jason was back on terra firma and rushed over to help Myleene free the key from the soap.

Always the gentleman, he refrained from assisting her wash, and instead used a stick to pry away at the soap and free the key.

“I think I smell the cleanest I’ve smelled in two weeks,� Myleene laughed as the pair then had to concentrate on getting the Chest open.

Successfully retrieving the Chest, the celebrities were given a parcel from their loved ones as well as a letter from someone special and all were thrilled with their treats which included strawberries, Tabasco sauce, chocolate cake, biscuits…and a Pot Noodle!

The celebrities were told that each of their letters must be read out by another of the celebrities and the tears were soon flowing.

Jason got particularly emotional, bursting into tears as he was shown a photograph of his partner Angela and children, waiting for him at the Versace hotel. Matt also had a tear in his eye as he was read a heartfelt emotional letter from his girlfriend Emma.

Phina read Myleene’s letters from her parents - Magdalena and Oscar - and fiancée Graham. She burst into floods of tears as soon as Phina began reading.

The letter from her parents read: “We have been watching you all while still in the UK and have enjoyed it tremendously. The night sky is beautiful here especially the Orion display. Perhaps when you gaze up into the sky tonight you might think of the words of Miss Saigon and think of breathing in the same air as us tonight as you are so close.�

Fiancee Graham sent a letter to his “Jungle Bunny� telling her to “have fun, stay strong and I miss you big time. I’m even eating less in support of you.�

“It was just so overwhelming because it’s like you have been institutionalised,� she said. “You are so used to seeing the same greenery and faces and suddenly ‘Wham’ you get a taste of home.�

Lauren read David’s letters from pals Tito Jackson and Jane Russell and he looked emotional, especially when he heard that Michael Jackson had been watching his jungle antics.

His first letter from Tito Jackson read: “Respect to you for staying in the jungle and not leaving in the first six hours. But you must have a hundred and one reasons for staying there and everyone sends their love. My kids think you are the best Uncle in the world for doing this at your age and after all you have been through in the past few years. David, how are you coping without the maid and the chef? Have you told them about Vaginika Seaman yet? Michael was watching you on TV in London recently and told me: ‘That man never changes but I wish him all the best and would love to see him win the show as he has come a long way in that jungle. Rather him than me. Ha ha ha’.�

Matt looked particularly upset and had a definite tear in his eye as Faith read his letter from his girlfriend Emma.

“To my gorgeous boy, I can’t quite believe we haven’t spoken for over a week. I’ve been utterly lost not having you around and there is a whopping great hole permanently next to me that only you can fill so make sure you don’t lose too much weight mate. I’ll finish this note by saying spending this much time away from you has only confirmed for me even more that I don’t want to be without you again. I don’t work without you. You are the love of my life and I’m so proud of you for staying true to who you are and not putting on an act for the cameras. I love you with all of my heart, body and soul from my head to my toes and back. I love you Matthew.� Emma xxxx.

Jan read Jason’s letters and he was already in tears before she had even begun because of the photograph that he had seen of his family at the Versace hotel where they and all the other friends and family were waiting for their loved ones to return.

“Dear Daddy, I miss you so much that I’m keeping a diary so you don’t miss anything I’ve done while you’re in the jungle. I love you so much. Gemma.�

“Dear Daddy, I love you so much and I’ve lost another tooth. Love from Zac.�

“J, I think the kids have said the important stuff. We all miss and love you so much. Love always, Angela.�

Phina was also blubbing as Myleene read her letter from friend Frances: “Your friends and family are so proud of you and remember the big guy is looking on. The Toxteth massive are threatening to parachute food into camp. Stefano promises to spoil you like a Princess when you get out of the jungle.�

David read Lauren’s letter from her husband Craig: “Everyone back home sends their love. You’re my, and the girls, Queen of the Jungle. The girls miss you loads but they are telling anyone who will listen that you are in the jungle and they have come to Oz to rescue you and you are the best mummy in the whole world. Not just waiting but aching to see you. Love you to the Mars.�

Malandra read Dean’s letter from his twin girls Charlotte and Chloe which also saw him filling up: “Hi Daddy, we think you are doing really well. Keep up the good work. When you’d done the trial we thought you was going to faint. It was very funny. We are all very proud of you so be careful of the spiders and the snakes and we all love you so, so much. Much love from Chloe, Char and Mummy.�

Matt read Faith’s letter from partner Len and she got so choked during the reading that she couldn’t even speak.

“It seems so long since you left. I miss you so much. You seem to be doing so well. We’d like to see more of you when you let your hair down.�

Scott read Jan’s letter from friend Sue:

“Everyone I know is backing you to overcome whatever else you have to do. Keep focussed and you may even become Queen of the Jungle. But if not, you’ve proved yourself to be one amazing woman.�

Jan read Scott’s letter and he was thrilled to hear from his best friend Hofit. The letter was a fitting end to all of the letters from home and the celebrities had a laugh listening to it.

“Who would have thought that my favourite pampered Princess would last in the jungle this long. I miss my partner in crime, my gossip buddy. I can see that you have settled well and adjusted to your new home. Who could have ever thought you could live with eleven strangers and now five straight men! Everyone is cheering you on and no matter what happens now Scotty, you are Queen of the Jungle.�

War is raging in the two camps with much hostility between the teams and within the camps. Phina Oruche and Jan Leeming are at loggerheads, tears from those missing family and friends and male concern for Jan, in the all female camp. It is getting a lot tougher now, with much fighting, tears, bickering, hunger and frayed nerves. The next Bushtucker trial will mean the winner’s camp will be immune from the first eviction, so competitiveness has reached boiling point.

After a hearty, sea food feast and sound sleep, in the women’s Snake Rock Camp and rice in the men’s Base Camp, the women awoke with full tummies, singing and dancing whereas the men opened their eyes in misery, empty tums and complaining of no energy. There was concern for David Gest who would not eat anything until Matt Willis managed to feed him a couple of spoons of rice. (I DO WISH THEY HAD THEIR NAMES ON THEIR CLOTHES IN THE FRONT AS WELL AS THE BACK SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHO IS WHO especially when it comes to Matt and Toby Ansis).

One by one, the men trudged off to the Bush Telegraph Room to complain of their hunger, failing health and energy, with Scott declaring that he would fight to the death to bring food back for the men. Jan, wailing in exasperation, at the end of her energy, crying buckets, saying that the public were trying to break her by voting her to do all the trials and Phina, unsussessfully attempted to console her by stating that they enjoyed watching her but she could not be comforted and it ended with a really nasty argument between them.

Phina suggested that Jan either feigned fainting or refused to do the next trial. Scott Henshall adamantly stated that if the trial was eating bugs, then the girls could win, in spite of the men living on ‘the delusion of eating, in their dreams’. The Bushtucker Duel meant that the two contestants had to out-eat the other, to win. Both refused to eat the locusts and kangaroo testicles, anus, balls, eyes and tongue. They consumed a gooey grub-smoothie, smelling of dirty feet and a foul cheesy, mouth burning fruit, earning two stars respectively but Scott won the contest by adding a silk worm to his meal, jumping up and down and stamping his feet to down it, earning a third star. Poor little things, referring to the silkworms.

They had been urged by Ant and Dec to eat more of the ‘feast’, as many had done in the past, everything being safe to eat. Jan and Scott remained immovable. Jan suggested that Ant and Dec try it and asked if they ever had, to be told ‘don’t be ridiculous, of course not’. Scott arrived back at camp, jubilantly shouting his victory and three stars, to the guys, too weak to do more than lie on their beds murmuring, ‘Good work Scott’. Jan explained to the girls that in spite of her agent telling her otherwise, the insects, etcetera, were the ‘the real thing’. Her fellow campers were very sympathetic and thrilled to be getting two meals to share amongst the six.

The men have been boasting of three wins out of five but they did not get their questions correct for the treats in the two chests, so lost out. Toby and Dean Gaffney brought back the treat chest after fighting it out with Myleene Klass and Phina. Myleene remarked on how the two men had been shouting at each like ‘a married couple’ Each team had to carry a life sized dummy up and down the banks in the jungle, detangling it from the strings they had to follow, till they could unlock the padlock with the attached key. The girls were not physically able to cope, as much as they wanted the chilled champagne and large slab of chocolate. Unfortunately, the men lost out too as they, once again, did not get the question right. The men were really disappointed at getting the question wrong but whooped loudly in delight to dupe the girls into thinking think that they had. It worked. All, bar David, enjoyed their meal of avocado, potatoes and emu sausages. As starving as he was, David would not eat the emu sausage. Looking pale and frail, he had both camps worrying about him.

The trial for immunity will have twelve stars in the murky river water, ‘What Lurks Beneath’, guarded by alligators amongst other challenges and the person chosen by the public from each team, will have to dive for the stars. Malandra Burrows (named after MALcolm, dad and sANDRA, Mom) was hoping to be chosen for this trial but Phina was the publics choice to compete against her ‘arch enemy’, Scott Will the fluff fly again, after the notorious battle where these two fought over a treat chest, leaving Scott bitten and scratched. Scott threw his hat to the ground, in anger at having to do the trial with Phina who did an exhilarating war dance. Let the games begin!!!

The Third day in the Australian jungle and we find a starving, constipated but ever cheerful, singing, winging and bickering crowd of bedraggled contestants.

Scott set off cheerfully and determinedly to tackle his trial of the Jungle Boogie, to return with only ONE of the ten stars, after dancing (suspended above the ground) his way through a tune, with earth worms and crickets dropping on top of him from the silver disco ball above his head, into his full skirted (tight at ankles) disco suit, with disco lighted flashing on the floor at his feet. (To be honest, I thought he deserved more stars for his effort and length of time endured), the more vigorously he danced, the more they dropped. He seemed to be holding up very well but after the first tune was over, he just as determinedly declared that it was over for him as he had been bitten all over his body. He had attempted it for Mum!

The already strung out campers tried to hide their disappointment but their hunger showed by much frayed nerves. Jan and Phina set off to collect the food chest but returned with only two of the three keys needed to release the chest, after spending hours until dark, searching through a giant haystack, with the ever moaning and nasty Jan, finding no keys at all. In spite of this, on their return to camp, in darkness, Jan was quick to put the blame on Phina who she called dominating and bossy and her only fault being allowing herself to be bullied.

Poor Phina and all within earshot, had endured, the whole day of Jan’s rude remarks and moans of hunger, feeling sick, bites all over, headaches, skin like an alligator’s, hideous meal (she would rather eat elephant dun) and filthy nails. Jan was rewarded by being one of the two chosen for the next trial, Tree Top Terror.

She and Scott (second trial for both), in yellow boiler suits, will be teetering on a high wire ‘to hell’ to avoid the deadly drop below. We will have to switch our TVs on at the earlier time of 8pm tonight on UTV or TV3, to see how they get on. For the sake of the starving celebrities, we hope they will be returning with many stars and thus earning meals for their desperate co campers.

From being the most unpopular contestant in the Jungle due to Lauren Booth (Tony Blaire’s sister in law) writing nasties about David Gest (Liza Minelli’s ex husband), his ear bursting snoring and continuous moaning about food, after only two days in the Jungle, he is now a HERO.

David was the first celebrity chosen by the public to tackle a trial. Jan Leeming, volunteering, amongst others, for the first trial and been chosen by the other contestants survived her challenge in the pit with two stars. David showed incredible confidence, no fear, side splitting humour and determination to do well in the trial. Flash Flood being his trial, meant David had to go into a glass fronted tank which slowly filled with water and he had to find ten wrenches to open ten pipes to retrieve ten stars for ten meals while all sorts of nasties flowed out of the pipes. Alligator babies, snakes, fish of all kinds and many more. Fearlessly he pressed on with enormous spiders on his face, head and back as he managed to accumulate six of the ten stars before the rising water made it impossible for him to stay in the tank. He strolled back to camp with one attached giant spider on his back, to be welcomed by all. There was singing, clapping and hugs for the hero of the day.

The next task is Jungle Boogie with a contestant hanging suspended, wearing disco pants and while dancing, trap doors will release various horrors onto the dancer. These could be anything from maggots to rats. Who will the public send. Phina who ridiculed Lauren’s fear of the spider in her bed or Lauren for her nasty remarks about David or maybe our glamorous and courageous singer, Myleene Klass. No, it is fashion designer Scott Henshall. (The Birthday Boy)

Its been three days since the celebrities entered the jungle camp and out of a possible thirty stars and therefore meals they have managed to obtain only 9!

Tummy’s are beginning to rumble and tempers are beginning to fray. Matt Willis predicts that they are a maximum of two days from a huge row over the shortage of meals.

“Everyone is getting a bit possessive around the food,� he said to Myleene when they were having a private chat.

Myleene said: “Totally. Every time I go to cut something I get told ‘that’s not the right way’ but they don’t even know what it is. I am like – ‘it’s a yam’ – I know what it is! The stuff I don’t know I will ask. “

Matt agreed: “It just gets a bit ridiculous at meal times.�

Myleene: “I don’t care if it’s fried, stewed, poached. Just eat it!�

Matt: “We are two days away from a dinner argument, two days away from everyone getting really short with people.�

With the lack of stars being achieved in the I’m A Celebrity camp, and the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables, celebrities are clogging up.

Toby revealed in the Bush Telegraph today that many of his fellow celebs hadn’t yet been able to make an extended trip to the dunny.

“The camp is clogged right now,� he explained. “It’s four days in and nothing is moving,� he said helpfully listing Myleene, Jan, Scott and Matt as those who had yet to have a successful trip to the loo.

“We need prunes,� Myleene pleaded. “And you’d better get more vegetables because there is very little movement.�

“I think that Lauren is alright,� Toby confided. “She is walking a little lighter than the rest of us. Frankly I’m a little bit jealous, maybe I could learn from her.�

“In a sentence, I’m using the dunny facilities to the maximum capacity and I’m very content,� a relaxed looking Lauren told the Bush Telegraph.

The moment of truth arrived in the jungle this morning when everyone stripped for their first I’m A Celebrity shower.

Toby Anstis was particularly impressed by presenter Myleene Klass and said: “When I first woke up Myleene walked past me with a skimpy bikini on and that was very tough to bear first thing in the morning.�

David added: “Myleene is just the bomb. Her boyfriend is very lucky. She is a definite 10 in every sense of the word.�

The celebrities decided to double up in the shower to save time and so DJ Toby Anstis left for the shower with Faith Brown– her in a black swimming costume and him in a small pair of white swimming pants.

Toby was excited at the prospect of sharing a shower with the funny woman: “I never thought I’d share a shower with Faith Brown – but I hope it’s not the last [time].”

Slipping his shampoo bottle down his trunks he turned to Faith and said lustily: “Oh Faith, I don’t know what it is. It must be the morning air.�

She laughed hysterically and scolded: “Oh you naughty boy.�

But her chuckling abruptly stopped when David saw her in the shower and said in front of Jason, Matt and Toby: “You could breast feed all of us and we would all have milk. It’s true.�

“I’m no prude,â€? Faith later remarked in the Bush Telegraph. “It’s just I don’t like comments like that.â€?

Jan was also itching to get into the shower and called upon Toby to help her spare her blushes by giving her a hand to strip out of her clothes.

“�I wanted to put my swim suit on so I could go and have a shower so I said ‘Toby, can I borrow your modesty gown because I can’t get my bra off?’ “

Toby valiantly assisted with the delicate operation but it didn’t go quite to plan.

“He helped me off with the modesty gown and I’m standing there in my pants and bra,� she blushed.

Never one to miss a quip Toby joked: “Jan Leeming, you are breaking hearts all over the nation right now!�

Was Jan protesting too much when she later confessed in the Bush Telegraph: “He is a great guy and I’m old enough to be his mother, so don’t think there are any shenanigans because there’s not!�

Toby confided with a smirk in the Bush Telegraph: “What schoolboy didn’t have a crush on Jan Leeming?�

Poor Scott! Used to having people flock around and hang off his coat tails, this trip to the jungle must be quite a shock to the famous fashion designer.

The six kayakers arrived in camp, only to find themselves faced with their first jungle task. The camp contained only 8 beds and to reach the other two, the group had to build a bridge.

Toby Anstis set to building the bridge and after some time gave up with frustration. Each slab of wood to make the bridge had a certain slot. Scott Henshall took over and completed the task becoming the first person to enter the tree house containing the other two beds. There he found a note instructing him that as he was the first in he must now sleep in it and choose someone to accompany him.

Scott informed the other five: “As I found this message I am sleeping here tonight. Faith you will be sleeping in here with me.� But his bed buddy Faith had second thoughts when she went into the tree house and found it rocked. One by one Scott’s fellow celebrities turned him down, deciding that the tree house was not all it was cracked up to be.

Faith, Toby and Myleene all declined Scott’s offer to accompany him, claiming the rocky tree house would make them queasy and in the end Lauren opted to join – but only after checking a few things:

“Scott, do you fart or snore?�

Poor Scott!
